Abstract

The paper studies the structure and content of the emotion concept DISTRESS. Resulting from the cognitive semantic analysis of the lexical units, which represent the aforementioned concept, the author defined the field and frame structures of the emotion concept DISTRESS. Propositional schemas described a frame structure of synonymic sets. Nuclear and peripheral elements of the distress situation were established. Prototypical and extended frame structures of the emotion concept DISTRESS were reconstructed. The paper also focuses on the subject-object relationships and their semantic roles in the distress situation.
